In his Macho Grubba form, Grubba shares the huge size, large powerful arms and spiked shell of Tubba Blubba. Both characters consume or absorb part or all of innocent bystanders - Tubba eats the ghosts of [[Gusty Gulch]], and Grubba absorbs his fighter's strength and even makes Prince Mush disappear into his machine altogether.
